I'm new to being a tort mommy. Saturday I'm getting a Greek tortoise named milo and I am getting a big storage bin for a bed for him. I don't know how I'm going to use the UVB light but I'm not worried about the heating lamp because of the clamps.

Welcome to the Forum, whitttneyy_!!

It's better to not use the clamps. They have been known to fail and cause fires. Try to figure out a way to hang your lamps.

Okay thanks so much, and heating pads, I'm a bit skeptical about them. Could they burn my tortoise and does he really need one or will he be fine without it?

I would not use heating pads. Tortoises are used to heat coming from above, not below. If you need nighttime heat then get a Ceramic Heat Emitter (CHE).
